I'll still dream of the Thai food I ate at this restaurant while living abroad in Edinburgh - it's that good. If I go back for a visit, this restaurant will be on my "must eat" list
TING THAI — teviotplace

Oink Victoria Street

Portobello Beach, Edinburgh
The royal mile is a road that runs between the Edinburgh Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse. The street is lined with souvenir shops, but it's still a fun walk that can be free if you don't go shopping!
Royal Mile
A stroll through a graveyard might not be your normal vacation activity, but this should be an exception. The gravestones are ancient and have inspired writers.
